Netskope Help

Filter Data Sources

The Netskope tenant UI has an additional filter to help you narrow down what's displayed on all the primary pages based on the access method. Access method shows how the cloud app traffic was discovered in the Netskope Cloud. This could be Netskope Client, Secure Forwarder, iOS VPN (Mobile Profile), Network devices (for log uploads), and so on.

Navigate to Settings > General > Data Source > EDIT SOURCE and then select the data source to look for events specifically generated from these sources.

The following table is a sample of data sources. Your list may vary depending on your specific tenant set up.
